﷯ Playtime, by Kraabel/Weston/Sanders 2009 CD featuring Veryan Weston (piano) and Mark Sanders (drums) with Caroline Kraabel. As-live studio recordings featuring improvisations as well as composed song-melodies with improvised accompaniment and arrangements. Mixed by John Edwards. “An unusual free improvisation trio, for Caroline Kraabel sings almost as much as she plays saxophone, and I’m not talking about vocalisation. She sings actual songs, in both French and English. Her approach to melody is somewhat akin to Dagmar Krause’s. And that agrees very well with the very English type of free improvisation performed by Mark Sanders (drums) and Veryan Weston (piano) – the latter is used to improvising in song mode, thanks to his long-standing association with Phil Minton. A fine record, surprising and slightly destabilising.” Francois Couture, Monsieur Délire

﷯ Giving Out/In the Garden City A 2009 double CD, each disc of which features an improvising duo: Caroline Kraabel/Susan Alcorn (pedal steel guitar) on Giving Out, and Caroline Kraabel/Annie Lewandowski (prepared piano) on In the Garden City. “This double CD documents two duo collaborations that mean a lot to me, but that take place relatively infrequently, because Annie Lewandowski (Ithaca NY) and Susan Alcorn (Baltimore MD) live in the USA, while I live in London, UK. Both of them are exceptionally sensitive and inspiring improvisers, and I take every opportunity to play with either of them. A while ago, Annie and Susan each visited the UK briefly, and these two recording sessions were organised to document our meetings. In both cases, everything that was played is included on the CD, in the order in which it was played.” http://www.susanalcorn.net/ http://www.annielewandowski.com/ • Price: £12.50 plus Royal Mail postage (£1.50 for one CD, £2.00 for two) ﷯ ABC Francais/English By Caroline Kraabel, illustrations and design by Massimo Miola.
